Community Yard Sale @ Old Miller Coors North Office Building
Oct 10 @ 8:00 am – 2:00 pm

When the City of Golden bought the old Coors building at 311 10th St, we were left with a lot of extra furniture! Since we plan to demolish the building, we need to get rid of everything inside; and we want our community to get first pick! Stop by from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 10 for a community yard sale. Items for sale include office chairs, filing cabinets, bookcases, office tables, café tables and chairs, and more. The first several customers will also receive a free white board with purchase.

Please note attendees must wear a mask covering their nose and mouth. We will only accept credit/debit cards or exact change (items are marked at $5, $10, $15 or $25 with sales tax included) at this event to minimize contact and social distancing measures will be in place.

If you would rather do your yard sale shopping online, we have items posted on GovDeals. Just search for Golden, CO.
